On Saturday I got married :). The past couple of months have been a little hectic, though probably not as much for me as for my wife. I’ve had a lot of stuff going on and I do feel a little bad that this site has been put on hold a little bit. However, weddings are crazy and I had no idea how much energy goes into them (including this wedding, I’ve only ever been to 5 weddings – 4 of them have been in the past year and a half). Our wedding was held at the Engineer’s Club in Baltimore and there were 130-something attendees.

Since the wedding is now over, activity on this site will probably pick up some. I’ve been reading a lot of books in my spare time so I may do a few book reviews, however, I don’t want to turn this page into a book review site, so if I do go that route I’ll space them out somewhat.

Also, before I forget, my advice to anyone getting married soon would be this:

• Wear comfortable shoes. My feet were killing me at the end of the night.
• Dance lessons were well worth it. Take them!
• Try to talk to everyone during dinner and don’t get stuck at one table.
• If there’s some food you want, have someone get you some or have it set aside (I missed out on the delicious strawberry layer of our cake – and on the delicious pigs in a blanket finger food).
• The day will be a lot of fun, don’t sweat it!

Lastly, the cake to the right was a groom’s cake that my bride had made for me :). She gave them some pics of other Mario wedding cakes so it’s similar to them, but toned down since it was just for a rehearsal diner. Mario and Peach were a little pudgy, but I thought it was a really, really cool cake. At the time of its making I was kind of obsessed with the New Super Mario Bros game for the Wii, which is why she had it done.
